As some of you should all be aware, Assassin's Creed: Rising Phoenix was an Assassin's Creed title supposedly for the PS Vita. Interestingly though, sources claim that the game will be released before AC:Black Flag.

What do you guys think this could mean? From images we've had from ACInitiates and promo pictures (again, supposedly. "Leaks" are our only clues currently) it looks to be about what happened immediately after the events in the Grand Temple. With Desmond's body being taken away by Abstergo.

With this in mind, and the title, is Desmond actually dead. A Phoenix rises from the ashes and is reborn again. What ashes could we be talking about. Did Desmond actually save the world? Will Juno destroy it and Desmond will awaken in the ashes of the old world? Or is it simply referring to his resurrection? Is it even about Desmond?

They did say that AC3 was Desmond's last game, didn't they? They didn't confirm before the release that he was going to die, just that he wouldn't appear in another game. So I don't think it means Desmond's resurrection.

It could be referring to Juno. Or the Assassin Order, or the Templars. Haytham did say how the Assassin's kept finishing the Templars but they always came back, didn't he?

It could mean anything. You know what they're like. Connor's new spirit guide? lolol

Aye, he did. That would be a pretty interesting way to look at it. Vidic lost in AC3 and the Templar organisation failed to capture Desmond. Perhaps now they've effectively "been killed off" (although not because Abstergo is still as strong as ever), the research division will come back fighting from the grave dug by Vidic.

Of course, the name could have no such connotations. But I'm excited about it nevertheless.

As far as I know they said that the technologies have advanced and now anyone can relive anybody's memories, so Abstergo hires an agent to relive Edward Kenway's memories meaning we wont have any out of animus experience at all. That's only true for AC4, but I'm pretty sure AC RP will follow the formula as well.

Have we forgotten one small yet important detail though?.. There still is one last thing Desmond has yet to do and that is find "her" now as of now "her" still has to be answered. As of right now we do not know who she is. Could it have been Minerva or Juno? is she a human being? Or is this something more? Mind you they have left finding "her" real vague. Will this question be answered in either black flag or rising Phoenix or perhaps both in some form? Who knows really until the game(s) are released.
